Underground groove band.  We love mixing funk, beat, soul, acid-jazz and dance rhythms using truly sophisticated musical instruments, tapes, microphones and voices.

We played in many festivals and venues and shared the stage with James Brown (as support band on his last Italian tour), James Taylor Quartet and many others.
We created soundtracks for documentaries and vintage porn films.

Niente impegno sociale, o ricerche stilistiche. Soltanto visioni oniriche e suggestioni psichedeliche, in una calma apparente, quasi ad esorcizzare la vecchia origine punk rock. Indie Rock Siciliano Alternative, R&B

Leslie Lello, born and raised in Bassano del Grappa, comes out of that roster of DJs and producers that was the Trash-Dance crew, one of the most famous and long-lived underground parties in Northern Italy.  Over the past decade Leslie has worked on a niche sound that expertly cross through world music influenced disco, glimpsy boogie funk, heavyweight electro-house and classic UK breaks: his love for groove fuels his drive to make those around him having fun as much as he does while spinning tracks. Leslie's long list of achievements continues to grow with each release. On the solo tip his recent output includes EP, singles and edits published for labels such as Polyamore, Basement Discos, Samosa Records, Bad Panda, The Disco Express, Disco Mind, Stereo Ferment, Spa in Disco, and more with the plaudits and heavy support of artists such as Folamour, Nightmares On Wax, Purple Disco Machine, Mousse T, TSHA to name a few, in addition to several web radios and blogs.  Leslie has also established his own parties along with his mates Lamento (Caldera Republic) and Paul Older (Hiland Festival), pushed by the will and need of spreading his favourites grooves across the north of Italy and beyond.
